City of Collegedale

Collection

The City provides weekly garbage collection services for residents. The City recently purchased a second Automated Garbage Truck to replace the current two man rear loader truck. This new automated truck will allow the City to provide the same great service,  be more efficient, and provide a safer work environment for our Sanitation Employees.  There will no longer be an employee on the back of the truck to move the carts, residents will need to follow the regulations below and place the carts in the proper location to have their carts serviced.
